When Ren decided to teach Nagato a lesson, he had already anticipated this situation.
His actions will definitely cause a rift to appear between Ren and Black Zetsu, whose cooperative relationship was based on exploitation rather than trust.
When faced with two evils, choose the lesser. One cannot have everything, nor can everything go smoothly.
Ren had prepared a plan for dealing with Black Zetsu, and was also mentally prepared to be in the wrong.
However, Black Zetsu's current aggressive stance has caused Ren to change his initial thoughts.
"Black Zetsu, do you think I'm White Zetsu, that I'm your subordinate?"
So what if she's putting on a sour face? It's not like anyone can't do that!
Before Black Zetsu could react, Ren continued.
"I chose to cooperate with you for the sake of peace in the Shinobi World. Even without you, I can maintain peace on my own. At worst, we can part ways. I refuse to believe that the Infinite Tsukuyomi is the only way to achieve peace in the Shinobi World. I'm still young, and I have plenty of time to find other methods!"
It's impossible for Ren to part ways with Black Zetsu; he won't allow that to happen.
But Black Zetsu knew nothing of all this!
Ren's explanation seemed both logical and consistent with his character, which stunned Black Zetsu for a moment.
At that moment, Black Zetsu had only one thought in his mind: Director, the other side isn't reading their lines according to the script!
Black Zetsu understand why things had turned out this way. He was clearly the victim, so why was Ren able to act so rudely and defiantly?
All the scenes between the two can be applied to a romantic relationship. When conflicts arise and one party threatens to break up, the one who cares more loses.
Ren knew the extent and reason why Black Zetsu cared about the Eye of the Moon, but Black Zetsu knew nothing about the real reason why Ren cared.
Ren is not a necessary condition for the implementation of the Eye of the Moon Plan, but Black Zetsu knows that the project cannot proceed at all if Ren does not cooperate.
Having figured out the stakes, Black Zetsu was the first to back down.
"Fifth Hokage, I was a little emotional just now. I don't understand why such a good opportunity would be wasted. Do you really intend to abandon the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan?"
Seeing that Black Zetsu had started speaking properly, Ren smiled in response.
"We will certainly not give up on Infinite Tsukuyomi, but the time is not yet ripe."
Is the timing not right?
Black Zetsu was completely bewildered. Why wasn't it ready? All Nine Tailed Beasts were present; if not now, when?
Instead of asking directly, she looked at Ren with a questioning gaze, waiting for his explanation.
Seeing Black Zetsu acting like a curious child, Ren knew that the initiative had returned to his hands.
Ren didn't rush to answer, but instead asked Black Zetsu in return.
"The purpose of the Infinite Tsukuyomi is to bring true peace to the Shinobi World, isn't that right?"
Black Zetsu know what Ren was trying to say, but he knew he should answer yes.
"That's right!"
"The Infinite Tsukuyomi is for peace, but capturing the Tailed Beast now would bring war, so now is not the right time."
After Black Zetsu Ren, Yuuki immediately expressed his attitude, stating that he not only wanted the right result but also the right procedure.
This completely baffled Black Zetsu. Do you even know what that is?
Those are Tailed Beast!
The attempt to capture the Tailed Beast will inevitably cause turmoil and there is a high probability that war will break out.
What's the difference between this and simply giving up on Infinite Tsukuyomi?
Besides, do you think I don't know who you, Uchiha Yushu, are? I've seen everything you've done to the Sarutobi Clan.
If you're going to make an excuse, at least make a better one!
Feeling like he'd been tricked, Black Zetsu's eyes turned dangerous, his gaze mostly fixed on Ren's heart.
But only for a moment, and then he looked away.
Black Zetsu had a feeling that Uchiha Yushu had a physical problem.
Given Ren's immense Chakra and ocular power, it's Black Zetsu hadn't considered using his ultimate technique.
But every time this impulse arises, Black Zetsu has a rather dangerous feeling.
If I were to do that, there's a very high chance I would not only fail, but also die!
Ren, watching Black Zetsu's every move, was equally tense; Black Zetsu appeared to have no power at all.
There wasn't even Chakra reaction; his senses were weaker than those of an ordinary person.
However, Ren, who knew Black Zetsu's record, never underestimated him.
Ren didn't know how Black Zetsu managed to rip out his heart, but he was always on guard.
As Black Zetsu's gaze focused on his chest, the template within Ren's body was poised to unleash its power.
Only after Black Zetsu shifted his gaze did Ren relax slightly. The Ōtsutsuki Clan family were all incredibly strange; it was easy to capsize if one wasn't careful.
"Capturing the Tailed Beast will inevitably trigger a war. According to your logic, the Infinite Tsukuyomi simply cannot continue. Fifth Hokage!"
When he wasn't absolutely certain, Black Zetsu chose to remain patient, but he also appropriately expressed his attitude.
The baby is unhappy now!
"If the child is unhappy, then let's comfort them, "Ren quickly said.
"That's true, but if we seize the right opportunity, we can minimize the damage!"
